@Seth it does not have to be hardware. I mean, prof said people have done "history of linux" and "linux vs windows", so that's software. But what I mean is when I think of operating systems, it's either hardware interaction, or filesystems

I've had the Ubuntu/Win10 idea in my head for 10 minutes, and already have a list of things to talk about and such.

And here it is, another permission denied, sorry for that, but I cannot get it running.
Let me be a stack user with sudo permissions, so that I can create a folder x by sudo mkdir /root/x.
That's running fine. But I get permission denied without sudo, no matter what I try. I set chown -R stack:s...

Nightbot can be fun, no doubt, and it can ban people here and there. But i kind of think we need real mods for that. As far as i know, there's a limit for how many times a user can be timed out , before they get banned for a good amount of time, which might raise some brows in chat . . .and with the actual mods

My project that is working properly in windows . now i am deploying on Linux server .
i have defined INCLUDES_PATH in windows
C:/xampp/htdocs/cms-includes
that was giving me error like failed to open file because there is no C:\ or D: in linux . so i have to changed that in LINUX .

@Zanna if it was about where my bot messages go (because that's the only incident i can recall), don't worry about it. That thing frustrates me to no end as well, because I hear conflicting feedback from everyone. Mods want it in Regulators, users want it here, I just want it to be somewhere not in a test room.

@KazWolfe well I definitely don't want to add to your frustrations and if mods did actually say unambiguously that it should be in there then that is where it should be, no question about it & what I say is null

Recently, I began pursuing a goal of making a chatbot for our AskUbuntu General Room. One of the features I added to the bot was a filter that would run every minute, attempting to find any undesirable posts, like those containing the word mint.
Now, this feature is obviously working pretty well...

I'm unable to switch to 1920x1080 resolution.
I've tried installing open-vm-tools, and also tried VMwarwTools. Both can switch to resolutions smaller than 1920x1080 but neither can change to that resolution.
I've also tried adding the resolution manually via xrandr, but that does not work either...

@ParanoidPanda Trump definitely fits into two of those descriptions, and his hair's pretty magical!

@Zanna Good thanks, got to move some stuff to a new office today. It's good to do something that gets me out of my seat!

@Arronical: Yes, I stopped looking properly at him or Clinton at about 1AM in the morning (it was nearly over as I was watching a recorded version) and just started staring at his hair and wondering how on earth he manages to have it in that magical look... :D

@Arronical I spent over 2 hours walking around London yesterday, including through Hyde Park. normally my sense of direction is fair to middling, but chat distracted me so badly (I get very emotional about chmod 777) that somewhere in Bayswater I discovered I'd been walking in a circle for the past 30 minutes...

@AhmedAl-attar afternoon there, how are you?

hmm I'm looking at a work-related email that needs my urgent attention... I am going to do yoga to avoid dealing with it immediately. bbl

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Suppose I ran the process with the following command:
myapp -e -c -f myapp.config > /var/log/myapp/myapp.log 2>&1
After a while I only have pid of myapp process, e.g. 1234. Is there a way to get the command with all flags and redirecting output to myapp.log somehow...

@terdon it's a suggestion , which also can be interpreted as comment. Second, it suggests using aa extension. If you save a file from the web which has 00 prefix , it won't work. On related note , this askubuntu.com/a/792524/295286 is link only answer

We often ask to post the output of network-related commands to diagnose and resolve a problem. Even after the problem is resolved, all this information remains available to any Internet user and can also be indexed by public and private search engines.
The output of some commands may contain sen...

@terdon i can't seem to find any trace of this NAA flag in my list of helpful, declined, disputed , aged away and retracted flags. i think when i said "doesn't answer OP's question", i meant to say it wouldn't completely solve OP's problem because there are still some filenames for which the suggestion of a "aa" prefix would fail. so basically, a poor choice of words on my part.

I want to mount the remote fs that I connect through ssh so that I can use an editor to edit the files. I installed sshfs for this.
Running the command:
sudo sshfs ubuntu@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/ /mnt/ec2-deep/
gives me this error:
read: Connection reset by peer
I tried to remove this error ...

I have a log file that contains the pings from a certain website in a text file called pingoutput.txt separating each ping reply by line. Now I need to extract from this text file the roundtrip time in between time= and ms into either another text file or list that I could then sort smallest to l...
